SPRING BREAK:
Just playing a couple of games over break, no tournaments.
STARTERS RETURNING: 5
RETURNING PITCHERS: 4
WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expected Team Strength - The strength for our 2023 season will be our pitching. We relied on our pitching to keep us in the games last year and we return our entire staff with now more experience, especially the playoffs. We also return our starting catcher who does an amazing job controlling the running game and keeping our pitching staff calm and under control.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
I'm excited to see how our younger players respond to some starting roles. I'm looking forward to see how much we improve as a team entering year 2 of it being in my program.
